Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

NorthWestern Energy announced today that it will fund $1.3 million in fisheries, wildlife and habitat enhancement projects along the 550 river-mile corridor of the Madison and Missouri Rivers from Yellowstone National Park to the headwaters of Fort Peck Reservoir in Montana.

"This stewardship program was initiated in 2000 in cooperation with our state and federal resource agencies to monitor and offset potential effects from the nine hydroelectric projects we operate on the Madison and Missouri Rivers" said Jon Jourdonnais, Leader – Hydropower License Compliance. The enhancement projects are in compliance with NorthWestern’s Project 2188 FERC License requirements as well as its ongoing commitment to river stewardship and conservation.
